Re: Make a triple cash weekend.

So if I use Mexican oriented jokes towards my Brazilian friend (by pretending I don't know the difference), would that be considered racism, or double racism? And if it is considered double racism, does that racism cancel itself out?

Seriously tho, judging someone based off of their skin color is dumb. I proudly hate all people equally.

This post made me laugh more than it probably should have lol.

I don't get why people are so fixated on skin color and/or race as it doesn't make a difference in who they actually are. Some people think it's funny to stereotype when in fact it's just plain stupid. The only thing that makes me hate someone is their maturity level. So basically, I hate nearly everyone online (and not just in U3).

Re: Make a triple cash weekend.

Now im just looking to clarify one thing as im alittle confused , now forgive me for this but you guys are on about racism......in a thread about a triple cash weekend???Now correct me if im wrong but isnt racism a totally different thing idk

Re: Make a triple cash weekend.

Yeah. I am WAY guilty of staying off topic but when I saw the thing about French gamers, I couldn't help myself. The whole subject of racism, agism, cultural bias and stereotyping is very interesting to me. Stereotyping though wrong, sometimes has it’s basis in the misinterpretation of factual behaviours. Before anyone jumps all over me, let me give an example: In many circumstances, Native Americans consider it rude and disrespectful to look someone directly in the eyes but Europeans consider it a sign of honesty. Just guess what the early European explorers and settlers assumed about Native Americans? Sadly though, stereotyping more often grows out of ignorance and fear based on nothing factual at all.

Now that I’ve indulged myself a little once again, let me return to the topic at hand…sort of.

There is a Double XP event coming up the weekend of October 18. Not triple cash but it’s something.

Personally, I’d rather see them have a Treasure Drop Month - not Rare because apparently, there are no rare coop treasures! OR better yet, have ND figure out (and solve) the issue that many of us believe is there. I can accept that the law of averages has worked against me (and will continue do so) but I fervently believe that many treasures come up more often than others.

Re: Make a triple cash weekend.

I definitely support anything that helps treasures drop more often. When it comes to all Competitive and Co-op Adventure mode treasures, I think those are fine the way they are. There's already the Treasure Hunter booster for Comp and I was also shown a way to quickly get the Adventure ones as well.

But Arena/Hunter on the other hand, I still have a few left. And yes, for some reason, I can find these occasionally way easier in Hunter, although the way they're set up is to drop evenly thru both modes. There is a ND Dev looking into a way to make the Arena treasure system better. Hopefully he finds a solution.

And I'm aware of what happened to my ancestors, on both sides of my family. It was also before I was alive, and I don't take offense to it. I'm not a victim bc my great-great-great-great grandfather or whatever was treated unfairly. One thing I can't stand - people talking about how they want racial equality (which is legally there for most places), but also wanting to hold onto the past and complain about what people did to their ancestors. Especially when their ancestors, and the people who treated them unfairly, are both long gone. I guess I bring light to the issue from time to time. But then again, the people I'm friends with know I'm not actually racist. So they call me a name to and we move on.
